Abstract:To understand the fundamental features of the vortex breakdown phenomena, which may significantly affect the aerodynamic characteristics of a spaceplane having a delta wing flying at high-angles of attack in a low-speed regime, the numerical analyses have been conducted by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. For simplicity of analysis, the axisymmetric flow around the vortex axis was assumed. To clarify the complicated flowfield structure of the vortex breakdown, the mathematical theory of the … Show more
